A COAT OF WHITE...

Yay, finally winter has arrived , and in beauty!!!

On Tuesday, the weather changed radically and the temperatures dropped drastically (from 12° C to -2°C). Then, in the afternoon it started to snow and by the evening, everything was covered in white...

In Geneva, the amount of snow which had fallen wasn't too bad (10-12cm). The airport had to be closed for a while and the electricity was cut during the night, because of falling trees.

I love the way things look when everything is white and that very special silence which enshrouds everything when it's snowing is incredibly soothing!...

Wednesday, early in the morning...The Salève gets brightened up by the last light of the day...The village houses look rather cold...A snow-covered end of afternoon Salève...
